Design
I just started using zotero. I was an endnote stooge, but i spent a god awful amount of money and a ton of time trying to get that stupid program to work as advertised. I just spent hours since friday on the phone with microsoft trying to undo the damage that endnote's latest update caused. That was the final straw...
so now i'm a zotero man and already am overjoyed with how stable the software is and the reliable, clear cut functionality - a beautiful thing. I would even pay for a program like this...anyway, it's such an awesome program I hesitate to say this, but the design looks a bit...cheesy. It's a minor complaint i know, but MS Word and other software seem to have been stylishly redesigned.

adamsmithI wouldn't disagree. It's likely Zotero will get a complete redesign in the next couple of years as Firefox changes necessitate significant rewrites, but obviously Zotero's entire development team is a fraction the size of Word's UX team alone, so these things take time.
